The happy little days of the Ye family

Of the two wild ginseng trees that Ye Xilin picked at Langshan last time, one was 41 years old and the other was 16 years old. You don't need to ask Tang Xiaojing to know that they were sold for a lot of money.

For half a month, this boy Ye Xilin was full of energy and elated, with his tail almost raised to the sky.

Tang Xiaojing was very greedy for these two ginseng trees, and he felt itchy in his heart. He also wanted to go around Langshan and collect some valuable herbs.

In addition, his wife also wants to buy another house in the county, so he has to work hard to make money.

But there are wolves on Langshan, and Tangshan feels it is too dangerous.

A few of them had been chased all the way down the mountainside by a pack of wolves. If they had run slower, they would probably have become the wolves' food.

Tangshan is now a little scared when he thinks of the wolves on the mountain.

Although the father and son had practiced some boxing and kicking, it would be of no use if they encountered a pack of wolves.

If you encounter a wild boar, you can still provide extra meals for your family, but if you encounter a pack of wolves, you can only provide extra meals for others.

Tangshan was determined not to let his son go to Langshan, not even to a safer place like the foot of the mountain.

Tang Xiaojing tried to persuade him twice, but Tangshan didn't agree.

After autumn, various small animals on the mountain begin to gain weight, and various herbs begin to mature, entering the harvest season.

After killing the pig, Tang Xiaojing felt itchy again and wanted to go to Langshan in the village to collect herbs.

But Tangshan still refused, and he did not dare to go alone.

After all, there were wolves and wild boars in the mountains, and he didn't want to die young.

Tangshan saw that he really wanted to go, so he suggested:

"In addition to Langshan, there are two unowned hills in the village. How about we go to the other two mountains and have a look."

“Aren’t all the hills in the village sold out?”

Tang Xiaojing looked confused and couldn't remember which two hills they were.

"No, there are two more rocky hills. You can't grow anything on them, and no one in the village wants them."

"You can't grow anything in those two hills. No one usually goes there. You might be able to find something good."

Tang Xiaojing hugged his father's shoulders and said, "Okay, let's go to these two hills tomorrow."

Early in the morning, the father and son carried dry food on their backs, took Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua and went out happily.

Taohua Village is a large village with not only many people and land, but also many mountains around it.

The hills with fertile land and no wild beasts have long been bought by the villagers and planted with fruit trees or honeysuckle.

However, there are still several unsold mountains in the village.

In addition to Langshan, where there are wolves, and the back mountain, which is a favorite place for people in the village, there are also two hills where nothing can be grown.

The father and son are going to the gravel mountain not far from the back mountain today.

The gravel mountain is not big. Compared with the Tang family's stone mountain, it is simply a small hill.

Most of the mountains are filled with rocks. Except for a few big rocks that you encounter occasionally, the rest are basically gravels the size of your fist.

Therefore, people in the village call it gravel mountain.

Most of the gravel hills are covered with stones, and the only land is solid yellow mud, making it impossible to grow anything.

The two came to the foot of the mountain. At a glance, the trees on the mountain were as thin and weak as malnourished children, and even the weeds were sparse.

Looking at the small hill in front of him, Tang Xiaojing actually had some impression that he had been here before.

When Tang Xiaojing first came back to Taohua Village, he basically walked through the mountains in the village.

Because this mountain is made of rocks, there are not many weeds, let alone herbs.

There are very few pheasants and hares on the mountain, and they are very agile.

Last time he finally encountered a pheasant, but it disappeared before he could catch up with it.

The pheasant didn't catch up and even scratched his clothes.

That time he spent half a day on the mountain and collected several kilograms of plantain and hydotinia.

I only went there once, and then Tang Xiaojing never came here again.

I haven’t been here for a few years, but when I look at it now, it still feels pretty much the same as before.

But when walking up the mountain, Tang Xiaojing discovered that there was something inside the mountain.

Many small weeds grew in the gaps between the gravel.

It looks inconspicuous, but it looks so lush and green that it almost merges into one piece.

Some even grew beautiful little flowers, blooming freely in the breeze.

"The weeds and trees on this mountain seem to be better than in previous years."

Tangshan nodded, "There are indeed a lot more weeds, and the trees look a little greener."

The father and son wandered around the mountain in a good mood.

No valuable herbs were found, but Tang Xiaojing discovered that there were many common herbs on the mountain.

He cut a large handful casually, and when he was approaching the top of the mountain, the sack in Tang Xiaojing's hand was already filled with various herbs.

However, these herbs only look numerous, but are actually very light. If it is dried, it will be lighter.

And it’s also cheap, only twenty or thirty cents per pound.

However, the herbs on the mountain are all for free. If you don’t pick them, you won’t pick them.

This gravel mountain is not big. The father and son walked for about an hour and reached the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain stand several large rocks that are taller than people, as towering as giants.

These stones have been exposed to wind and rain, and are covered with large and small cracks, and weeds have grown in the cracks of many stones.

Valuable herbs such as Dendrobium and Chicken Spatholobi like to grow in rock crevices.

Looking at the big stone in front of him, Tang Xiaojing suddenly became energetic.

He walked to a large rock that was taller than himself. After walking half a circle, he was surprised to find a crack.

The crack in the stone was as wide as the palm of your hand, and it looked quite deep.

At the bottom of the stone crevice, Tang Xiaojing saw a very familiar small vine.

"It's Millet Spatholobus. I'm really lucky today."

This Millipeda plant is not big, with a few branches peeking out timidly from the cracks in the rocks. The leaves are also sparse. If you don't pay attention, you can easily miss it.

However, no matter how small this chicken blood vine is, it can still be sold for two taels of silver.

Tang Xiaojing excitedly took out the machete from his backpack and prepared to put this little thing into his bag.

The Millet Spatholobus is right in the middle of the stone crevice, still a little far away from the outside.

Tang Xiaojing held the machete and carefully stretched his arm in. With the machete, he could just reach it.

But in this way, his arm blocked his view.

Tangshan quickly climbed to the top of the stone crevice and directed his son how to cut down the Milletia vine.

Tang Xiaojing stretched his machete inside, and when he was about to take action, a small snake the size of a little finger suddenly jumped out from the crack inside.

The little snake is not big, but its body is covered with colorful patterns. At first glance, it looks like a highly venomous snake.

Tangshan's eyes widened, "Poisonous snake, get out quickly."

The poisonous snake was probably irritated by Tangshan's voice. It opened its big mouth and viciously bit the machete closest to it.

Tang Xiaojing reacted quickly and immediately pulled out his arm.

Unexpectedly, when he stretched out his arm, he found a very bright and beautiful little snake biting on the machete.

The little guy was brought out along with the machete.
